Focus on Jobs

Republicans are going after collective bargaining and unions.
Republicans are calling for McCarthy type public hearings to fuel suspicion and hostility towards Muslim Americans.
Republicans are attempting to gut social nets, public education, and middle class America all in the name of 'fiscal responsibility'.
Never mind that deficit creation and a decided lack of fiscal responsibility was the mainstay of the republicans during all eight years of Bush and republican majority rule.
And never mind that they have recently voted to continue tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and to continue to give 300 billion dollars a year in government subsidies to one of the most profitable industries in the world - big oil.
What they are not doing, what they were mandated to do in 2010 and what they are decidedly not doing, is promoting the creation of jobs.
